Ball Python Feeding

[gold217]

I just got my baby bp one week ago, and tried feeding it today like the guy at the pet store said. I dipped the f/t mouse in chicken broth even, and it still showed no interest at all. Any advice/tips?? Thanks!

its hard to tell so early..did you try refreezing the mouse and then offering it again? that worked for me a couple times before..i recently got a sub-adult and she was only fed live but i switched her to f/t without any reall issues

give that a go.. refreez and then rethaw it and see if that works..it supposed to make the mouse a bit more pungent or something to that effect

How old is the snake?
If it is a hatchling? if so, how many successful meals did it have prior to you buying her?
